Unemployment: The Attraction at Club 55

In Hollywood these days, Club 55 is
packing them in. Its parking lot is jammed with expensive and flashy
cars. Inside, the crowd is sprinkled with cinema luminaries. But they
are not waiting for the floor show. "Club 55" is showbiz lingo for the
Hollywood unemployment office, and the attraction is $55 a week,
taxfree. Any out-of-work Hollywood toiler, even if he earned a quarter
of a million in his last picture and is scheduled to start on a new one
next month, can collect his $55 a week during the interim.
